Volpin Props Makes a Horizon Zero Dawn Shadow Sharpshot Bow
We’ve seen Kamui Cosplay’s take on making a Horizon Zero Dawn Sharpshot Bow, and now it’s time to look at Volpin Props’ process. They actually made a variant of the weapon, the Shadow Sharpshot Bow. Harrison Krix of Volpin modeled the prop himself with Autodesk Fusion 360 (he learned how to use this program through Lars Christensen’s YouTube tutorials) and after 3D printing, Krix “molded and cast in urethane with steel cores for rigidity.” You can see the number of pieces he had to assemble in a photo below.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
